I wasn't commenting on the tragedy at Sandy Hook.

I was commenting on your 'Let's Get Rid of Guns' meme above.

Get off your high horse before you hurt yourself Grampa Simpson.

Ain't it funny how people figure they can legislate evil away. Never mind it's okay for poor Fucks like Lanza to suffer in their tormented hell as long as they don't bother anyone with it. Take future Lanza's guns away and the problem is solved ....

My old man came home to catch a bunch of high school kids that had broken into his house,,,, He then proceeded to totally lose his shit and try to kill them with the samurai sword over his fire place... blood everywhere but no one dead and no one was going to complain.

You wanna trade childish comments frankly it say's more about you than me

I was watching the PBS news hour and a comment was made that 50% of the worlds guns are in the USA and there have been more people killed with guns in the US and than in the combined total of all wars that the US has engaged in. For a nation that hold religion so close to it's heart how they can justify that is beyond comprehension.

I have yet to meet a single person that has ever needed to use a gun because of a threat. Rather than carrying or owning a gun try a pair of elevator shoes...you never know that might help sorry I couldn't resist

George Carlin, Bill Maher my two favourite comedians. You have to watch Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO he's your side of the spectrum but never advocates for non democratic unions. Sharp guy educated at Colgate I believe certainly more than holds his own with the likes of O'Reilly and Coulters of the world. I also like to listen to Warren Buffet and Bill Gates some of the greatest capitalists in today's world. UK you have to open your mind and not be so telescopic in your views. The point of education is surely just that, open your mind. I don't mind swimming against the tide some times for things I believe in be they left or right

When I hear the storey I was kind of glad he is not a gun owner....

But see if he lived in America he woulda had a gun and coulda shot them all and gotten away with it!

.... which would mean YOU would be an American, and therefore you'd be damn proud of the old man.

Funny I was thinking of the very same thing earlier. Where does it stop, rocket launchers, tanks, hey the odd flame thrower ( painted with camouflage of course so you can't see it ) but as the high court points out there is no limit, hey I know an atom bomb ! you can really end an argument with an atom bomb. When can you use these weapons well it seems in the Zimmerman case, he's allowed to stand his ground if he feels threatened. So next time you hear a knock on the door ...just do it nuke the bastard what has the world come to, there is no common sense.

By the way IMO the Economist is the only journal worth reading, I started reading it when I was about 21. The problem is it makes most other media look inadequate
